Emergency Preparedness
Shelter Registration Software
LobbyGuard shelter
registration software is used around
the country by emergency response teams for managing visitor, volunteer
and employee traffic in and out of emergency and disaster shelters. Here
are just a few of the benefits LobbyGuard brings to these shelters:
-
Volunteer
Credentialing
One of the biggest concerns for EHR teams is the very difficult
task of credentialing volunteers at a shelter. This normally
involves using a large portion of the volunteer staff to handle
the credentialing process. Using LobbyGuard, the volunteers are
free to do more work for disaster victims while volunteers can
sign in and out of the facility with the LobbyGuard touchscreen
kiosk. All volunteers can sign in and indicate name, where they
will be working in the shelter and other information. LobbyGuard
will print a badge for each volunteer that will include all this
information as well as a photograph of the volunteer.

Disaster
Victim Sign-In/Sign-Out
Another major problem area is the signing in and out of the
shelter by the disaster victims. Paper logbooks are often
impossible to search and dont provide much in the way of
shelter security. LobbyGuard provides an easy, fast and safe way
for victims to sign in and out of the shelter, including
capturing photograph, name, location, and driver license scan.
LobbyGuard can print out visitor badges as needed and perform
instant background checks against our sex offender database.
In addition, LobbyGuards records are electronic and can be
instantly searched if needed, providing relief for separated
families who are looking for loved ones, to assist in locating
missing persons, etc.
- Employee
Sign-In and Pre-Registration
Employees who will be staffing the shelter can be
pre-registered, meaning they can have their names and roles
pre-loaded into LobbyGuard and thus making their sign-in process
much faster, freeing the kiosk for use by others.
Serious about Emergency Preparedness
LobbyGuard is designed with the mobility and
data centralization needed for the EHR environment. Many shelters do not
have the luxury of internet access; in these instances, LobbyGuard
provides full functionality with only a power connection. If needed, the
database from any kiosk can be easily uploaded to a larger central
database via a PC with internet access.
When connected directly to the internet, LobbyGuard can instantly
move all data from one shelter to a central database hosting the records
for multiple shelters. This provides instant data retrieval, reporting
and search capabilities across a shelter network.
But what about shelters that don't have internet access, or even
access to a phone line? In these scenarios, LobbyGuard can work
off-line, meaning all data is captured to a local database on the
kiosk itself. This data can be migrated to a larger central database by
connecting the kiosk to the internet at a later time, or by copying the
database to another PC that does have internet access.
If internet connectivity is a necessity, LobbyGuard can recommend
a host of solutions that have been tested with the product, ranging from
broadband wireless access to satellite internet uplink that will keep
your kiosk online at all times.
No matter what the scenario, LobbyGuard is designed to work to meet your
needs.
